Instrument Approach Using Vertical Speed (V/S) or Flight Path
Angle (FPA)
Note: Autopilot use is recommended until suitable visual reference is
established.
Note: If required to remain at or above MDA(H) during the missed
approach, missed approach must be initiated at least 50 feet
above MDA(H).
Recommended roll modes:
• RNAV, GPS, B/CRS, VOR or NDB approach: LNAV, TRK SEL,
or HDG SEL
• LOC, SDF, or LDA approach: LOC or LNAV
Ensure appropriate navaids (VOR, LOC, or NDB) are tuned and identified
prior to commencing the approach.
RNP appropriate for approach (if required) ......................... Verify/Enter
Allows appropriate alerting to occur if ANP exceeds RNP.
Before descent to MDA(H):
MCP altitude .................................................................................. Set
Set the first intermediate altitude constraint or MDA(H). When
the current constraint is assured, the next constraint may be set
prior to ALT engaged to achieve continuous descent path.
If constraints or MDA(H) do not end in zero zero (00) (for
example, 1820), set MCP ALTITUDE window to the closest 100
foot increment below the constraint or the closest 10 foot
increment above the MDA(H).
At descent point:
V/S or FPA switch....................................................................... Push
Verify V/S or FPA mode annunciates.
Desired V/S or FPA........................................................................ Set
Set desired V/S or FPA to descend to MDA(H). Use a V/S or
FPA that results in no level flight segment at MDA(H).
